How Can A Pulled Muscle In The Groin Area Be Treated?

I fell off my bike this morning and think I have a groin pull. I took an Alleve and am applying ice to the inside of my thigh, but it is very painful to walk. My husband advised me not to sit for too long but to keep moving. Should I rest or get up every so often and move around?

Hello,

There can be muscle pull in you thigh or due to compression of nerve root there can be pain in your thigh. I will advise you to do MRI spine to see for disc bulge. Ice fomentation and rest will help in healing.

Till that time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise to check your vitamin B12 and vitamin D3 level.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vaibhav Gandhi
